ive been following for about 5 years now and this is right up there with some of the best performances and quality taper recordings there is(including the produced live stubbs). you sir(taper), captured a great sound...and yes the sax adds much soul to it! if your expecting a cliche reggae act, stop listening....but if you appreciate great music from the heart and soul...this is for you. it flows from front to back like his and the bands best! download and share now! spread the good word ;)

From the moment I first heard Matisyahu on WXPN I started seeking out more of his music. I felt like someone had done me a huge favor when I found this sight and these shows. Although I am a spiritual person and not as big a fan of organized religion, Matisyahu speaks my beliefs aloud as though we are the same. You can download shorten to decompress these files easily into MP3 format.

First off matisyahu is incredible. He is truly gifted by hashem. His music awakens a part of your soul that you might have not known even existed. The saxaphon is awesome. Matisyahu needs a permanent sax player. Secondly my hat comes goes off to the person recording this. The crowd isn't making a lot of noise. But the sound quality is beutiful beyond words. I learned what a shn file was, downloaded winamp and shnamp just to play these files. I wasn't dissapointed but I was at awe of the beuty of the songs and the recording. Thank you however recorded this show. I hope that you will record/post another. Shalom l'kulam!

Thanks for the kind words towards the quality of my recording...it is much appreciated. As for the show itself, I think the audience was expecting some kind of novelty act, but as soon as Matisyahu opened his mouth, we knew we had something special. He's starting to bust out, so I expect many more recordings from 2005 to begin showing up.

Probably the Best Show Available

Although the BB King show is the most prominent, I think this show may be the best show presently available (caveat - Matisyahu is just getting widespread attention and it is likely that many more high quality shows will be uploaded soon).

The sound qaulity is impeccable, but beyond that, this show offers a couple excellent rarities, including "Moonlight Twilight," "Sea to Shining Sea," and an acapella/beatbox version of Marley's "Soul Rebel."

Although I wasn't at this show, I saw him two other times that week (10/20 and 10/23) and this recording perfectly captures the vibe at the last of his early shows before he vaulted into wider audiences.
